How to Choose a Good Domain Name?

Choosing a domain name for your site is one of the most important steps towards creating the perfect internet presence. Many factors must be considered when choosing a good domain name.

Domain names can be really long or really short.In general, choose a domain name that is short in length

The shorter your domain name, the easier it will be for people remember. If your site is long and difficult to pronounce, people will not remember the name of the site and unless they bookmark the link, they may never return.

You should also consider the different top level domain names. here are many top level domain names available today including .com, .net, .org, and .biz. In most cases, the more unusual the top level domain, the more available domain names are available. However, the .com top level domain is far and away the most commonly used domain on the internet, driven by the fact that it was the first domain extension put to use commercially and has received incredible media attention. If you cannot lay your hands on a .com domain name, look for a .net domain name, which is the second most commercially popular domain name extension.
